Microsoft Azure Stack is an extension of Azure – bringing the agility and innovation of cloud computing to your on-premises environment and enabling the only hybrid cloud that allows you to build and deploy hybrid apps anywhere. We bring together the best of the edge and cloud to deliver Azure services anywhere in your environment.

Opportunity for Australian and New Zealand partners

Sell your cloud apps and products, build new offerings and provide ongoing services and support for governments and critical national infrastructure organisations looking to overcome key challenges. The new Azure Australia Central Regions in Canberra offer unprecedented security, compliance, flexibility and connectivity for clients and vast new opportunities for partners.

Open new sales channels

Target highly regulated government clients, critical national infrastructure organisations and their suppliers. Do so with confidence, knowing that Azure is the only public cloud to be certified by the Australian Signals Directorate to handle Unclassified (DLM) and Protected data.

Deliver more innovative, future-ready apps

Use Azure tools and frameworks to embed artificial intelligence into your apps, helping your clients improve lives and the world we live in.

Develop your solutions, your way

Azure is the platform for open-source software in the cloud. By supporting the broadest range of tools, languages and frameworks, including Linux and open-source, Azure lets you build specifically to your customers’ business needs.

Offer flexible, hybrid solutions

Only Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack let you design, build and deploy apps with the freedom to choose between public and private cloud. Co-locate existing mission-critical systems with the hyperscale cloud, so you can help your clients transform on their own terms.

Bring solutions to market faster

Help your customers save time and money by using Azure services to design, test and deploy new apps. Then, deploy wherever and whenever you need to.

Reinforce your disaster-resilience offering with multiple locations

Only Azure delivers cloud from four Australian regions – in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra – with more options for high availability and disaster resilience than any other cloud provider.
